The Los Angeles Dodgers play in Major League Baseball’s National League West division and moved to California from Brooklyn, New York in 1958. The Dodgers regularly host instate rivals the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres as well as other west coast teams. The Dodgers continue a fierce rivalry with their original nemesis, the New York Yankees, but today mostly focus on beating the Giants or Los Angeles Angels.
Nestled in the tree-lined neighborhood of Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium has housed its namesake since 1962. It is the third oldest active stadium in the MLB and is the largest baseball stadium in the world by seating capacity. Nicknamed Blue Heaven on Earth based on the team’s colors by legendary manager Tommy Lasorda, Dodger Stadium is only 3 miles from downtown and is easily accessed by public transportation.
